Challenge

A homeowner in Innisfil, ON, contacted Basement Systems Toronto with a frustrating and common issue: a persistent bad odor permeating their home, originating from their crawl space. The dirt floor of the crawl space had become a source of concern, negatively impacting indoor air quality and posing potential risks to the home’s structural integrity. Seeking a reliable solution to restore comfort and safety, the homeowner turned to our team for help.

Solution

Upon receiving the call, we promptly sent a System Design Specialist to assess the situation. The inspection revealed that encapsulating the crawl space would be the best solution to eliminate the odors and protect the home’s overall health. We recommended installing CleanSpace and SilverGlo, two of our most effective products for crawl space problems.

CleanSpace, a durable liner, seals off the crawl space from the earth, significantly reducing moisture and preventing mold growth. SilverGlo insulation panels were chosen to insulate the area while reflecting heat back into the crawl space, enhancing energy efficiency.

Our skilled production team got to work, meticulously covering the dirt floor with the CleanSpace liner to prevent moisture intrusion. The walls were lined with SilverGlo panels, putting an end to energy loss. The transformation was remarkable: the crawl space was now clean, dry, and energy-efficient.

The result? A thrilled homeowner enjoying an odor-free home, improved air quality, and peace of mind knowing their house was protected against moisture-related damage.
